Godsend Award

The Godsend is a unit level award for parents and leaders. We know that behind every successful Cubmaster, Scoutmaster, Pack, or Troop Committee there are many others who work to make a difference in the unit. This award was created in 2017 so that units can properly recognize them for all their hard work. Recognize the outstanding volunteers in your unit by completing a Godsend Award Nomination Form
